In short

Maplewood Advances in Paragould, Arkansas takes funding requests from Greene County, AR and nearby counties. This page explains which places have pages, which are described here, and which Census figures apply where.

Paragould, AR and Jonesboro, AR: The Two Places With Their Own Pages

The Paragould, AR page carries ZIP 72450 and Greene County, AR figures. The Jonesboro, AR page uses ZIP 72401 figures and one Jonesboro city figure (ACS) only: Jonesboro is in Craighead County, so Greene County figures do not describe it.

Distances on this page are straight-line from the Maplewood office. Every place below can send a request the same way, by phone or form.

Marmaduke, AR, Lafe, AR and Oak Grove Heights, AR Inside Greene County, AR

Marmaduke, 10.8 miles north-northeast of the office, sits in Greene County, AR; ZIP 72443 had 30 employer establishments in 2023 (ZIP Code Business Patterns), and Marmaduke covers only about 2.1% of that ZIP's land. Lafe sits 10.6 miles north, and its ZIP 72436 had 6 employers.

Oak Grove Heights, 4.9 miles north-northwest, and Walcott, a census-designated place 10.3 miles west, have no ZIP of their own. Delaplaine, 18.0 miles northwest, is in ZIP 72425 with 3 employers. Greene County, AR figures on the other pages of this site apply to all of them.

ZIP 72401 Retail: Contractors, Manufacturers and Their Funding Needs

ZIP 72401 counted 304 retail trade employers in 2023, the largest sector in the ZIP, and 207 accommodation and food services employers (ZIP Code Business Patterns). Contractors doing storefront work and manufacturers selling to stores share the same funding questions as the retailers.

The Jonesboro, AR page has the full ZIP table and the city's planning and license offices.

Craighead County, AR Assessor Property Search and the Paperwork Behind a Loan Request

Property records for Craighead County, AR are kept by that county, not Greene County. A buyer of a building in Jonesboro, Brookland or Lake City checks the Craighead County, AR assessor's records for the parcel, the assessed value and the owner of record before a partner orders its own reports.
